The afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of Lowell High’s geography classroom, casting long rectangles of gold across the dusty floor. The air smells of chalk and old paper, and the only sound is the frantic rustle of exam papers. Minjeong sits two rows ahead, her back straight, her pencil moving in quick, sure strokes. She’s halfway through the test when she feels it—a gaze, a pull. She glances sideways and sees you looking at her paper, and her heart stumbles. Without a second thought, she shifts her arm, tilts the page so you can read every answer. Her cheeks burn, but she doesn’t look back. She just hopes, prays, that this time, you will notice her.
